Registration Information

Cancellation: Cancellations aren’t fun for anyone! If you must cancel, we will do our best to fill your vacated space. If we are able to re-book your space, then only our $200 handling fee will apply. Although almost everyone has a very valid reason for needing to cancel, please know that there are no exceptions to our cancellation policy. As a result, we strongly recommend purchasing robust third party cancellation insurance. This may be purchased from most major insurance providers. 

Cancellation due to Covid 19: We are not responsible for costs associated with cancelled flights, closed borders, travel advisories, personal illness, or evacuation costs related to Covid 19. 

Our cancellation charges include tax and apply from the date we are advised of your cancellation. Please advise us of your cancellation by email to avoid any confusion. 

Prior to the trip:

  • 90 or more days – full refund less $200 handling fee per person.
  • 89-60 days – loss of deposit.         
  • 59-0 days – forfeit total price.
  • Reservations may be cancelled if balance of payment is not received by the due date.

Gratuities: At the end of a trip, many participants wish to offer a gratuity to guides as a thanks for great service. This is not required, or expected. Gratuity amount varies greatly, and is up to personal preference – on average, our trip participants tip 10% of trip cost. Having said that, we all come from different lives and situations, and any amount or gesture is appreciated by guides and staff. A portion of all gratuities is shared with kitchen staff.

Environmental & Indigenous Land Use Fee: All trip spaces are subject to a $25 fee/donation. All travel has an environmental impact, and we believe it is important to give back in some way. The fee is split between local organizations that we feel do good work in our area, and local indigenous social, environmental, and cultural initiatives. Note that our fee does not account for environmental and carbon costs associated with your travel, and we suggest that you consider offsetting those costs with other changes in your lifestyle.

Dietary restrictions: We ask that you inform us of allergies and/or dietary restrictions prior to registering for a trip. We may not be able to accommodate complex dietary needs (such as multiple allergies or restrictions), highly sensitive anaphylactic allergies, highly sensitive celiac, or keto/paleo diets.

Diets requiring extensive additional food preparation (eg. gluten free, dairy free) are usually subject to a $20/day surcharge to cover additional labour and food costs, and/or we may ask you to bring along some of your own food substitutions. Note that for ethical, environmental, and climate reasons, all of our food is “pescatarian” – vegetarian with some locally caught/harvest seafood (seafood is easily avoided).

In case of emergency: Be sure your personal health insurance is adequate to cover expenses caused by accidents in remote locations. We are trained in wilderness first aid and have emergency supplies and equipment; however, Coast Mountain Expeditions Ltd. assumes no liability regarding provision of medical care, and in the event of an unscheduled evacuation, participants should expect to assume full costs. Everyone is required sign a liability waiver prior to participating in kayaking and adventure activities.

Safety & responsibility:  We have a perfect safety record with no serious injuries or incidents, and we have never been involved in litigation. We make every reasonable effort to ensure participants a safe journey: our guides are highly skilled and experienced and our high quality equipment is well maintained. Though we take every reasonable precaution, the territory in which we operate is remote and rugged wilderness. Weather conditions can be extreme and are not always reliably predicted. Therefore, for safety or any other reason, we reserve the right to, without penalty, withdraw or alter any itinerary or service. Upon booking, the participant agrees to the terms and conditions above and agrees be a cooperative part of the trip group and follow direction from the trip leaders.
